The role of wildfires and forest harvesting on geohazards and channel instability during the November 2021 atmospheric river in southwestern British Columbia, Canada
During the November 2021 atmospheric river in British Columbia, Canada, hundreds of landslides were triggered. We found that geohazards occurred more frequently in wildfire burned areas and along for...

Brienz has just been evacuated for the second time. The decision is based, among other things, on thousands of simulations that ETH professor Jordan Aaron has produced using a computer model he developed. In an interview with ETH News, he explains why this model was used.

LiDAR difference map of the #ChilcotinLandslide, flown by Brian Menounos and @hakaiinstitute.bsky.social system shows about 6x10^6 m3 of change. Will be very interesting to see how this is incised as the flood begins in the coming days.

I saw an interesting bank erosion protection structure yesterday where tree root mat stumps were lashed and bolted together in a creek bend just before road culverts. It was a new one for me.
